Green infrastructure — parks, urban forests, wetlands — provides billions in ecosystem services.

Trees in a drought will 'talk' to each other through chemical signals in the soil, triggering defensive responses in nearby trees.

Lightning can heat air hotter than the surface of the Sun.

Bioluminescent forests — trees glowing in the dark — have been filmed in Brazil using extremely sensitive cameras.

The lotus plant is known for self-cleaning leaves — water rolls off in droplets, taking dirt with it (the lotus effect).

Cyclones, typhoons, and hurricanes are all the same phenomenon — named differently depending on the ocean they form in.

Lichens are not single organisms — they're a symbiosis between fungi and algae (or cyanobacteria).

The mycorrhizal network connecting trees can transfer nutrients and chemical signals across an entire forest.

A fire tornado is a spinning column of fire — they can reach 1,600°C and heights of over 100 meters.
